Chapter 13
At the dinner, the higher–ups talked about the future development of their companies, university, and their respective talent development programs.
It was then that Aurora found out the 70 million dollars that Owen donated was just a small part of the total sum of donations. He had donated numerous times to Astrait Univendly over many years, totaling over a hundred million dollars
The donations had mostly funded research on quantum mechanical technology and polymer physics, as well as some research on polymers and superconductors.
Listening to their comerations, Aurora found out there would be more funds coming into the university.
Autora was just a tespatcher. She believed she had

William, however, tried to mite her into acomenation
“Treless Beed is ment the leading researchers inthega Astrad University hired Professor feed with a high salon.
William patised and looked at Aurora with a gentle expression. “Tut I’ve heard that other universities had offered Aurora even better terms, but she rejected all them and joined Astrail University without any hesitation. Mist you, it’state lameet someone with such a noble heart and virtual
chames tield and the pride of our university,” William said. “I’m aware that many people think
Sany exceptional talents have left this place and never trimmed. To be honest, we did have countless elites this year, but due to some shortcomings in various atras, we lost some of them. But this time, not only did Professar Heedertum, but she also bonight in a valuable gift, which is truly impressive! Our university has never received the National Mecistus Award even after mame year!“:
“I’m flattered, Chancellor Payne. But this is everyone’s hard work, so I should’t take the merit for myself,” Autod said “The professors and students of Astrait University are all wonderful talents. 50, it’s my lianor in turn to this place!”
The Department of Physics at Astrand University was one of the top internationally. So, Aurora wasn’t boasting when she said that.
While she might be shallow in handling relationships, she still had sentiment for the country. Perhaps she could only find joy in her lite by reaching such a high achievement
william nodded proudly. “You’re too bumble, Professor Reed. An amazing lecturer is equally important. By the way. Mr. Jenson, weren’t you the who handed the award to Professor Reed back then? Do you remember it?”
Owen had a profound look on his face. He glanced at Aurora and smirked before raising his wine glass for atost
*Professor Reed is young and talented. I can’t believe she’s my junior, which makes me feel so honored, Owen said. “I’m looking forward to working with you
Owen was putting on an act again. Autora sighed in her heart and raised her glass of water. “Thank you, Mr. Jerson. I still have to retum to the lab later, so please don’t mind that I’m refuming your toast with waterinstead.”
Soon, we
organize a batch of professors and experts for a visit at Qox Corporation. Perhaps we’ll have to trouble you again for that, Professor Reed. I’ve discussed this with the executives and decided to have you and Professor Sullivan be in charge of this project, William said with a smile. His eyes were filled with compliments and trust for Aurora
Aurora was stunned. “But I’ll be busy supervising the dissertations and thesis defensession. I’m afraid that-
roh, don’t worry about it,” William interrupted. “Mr. Young will make arrangements so that you’re not overworked. After all, you shouldn’t be in charge of dissertation supervision in the first place, considering your recent return.
This project is very important. We’ll discuss this another meeting. You’ll know more about this then, Professor Reed. ”
Sering William’expression tuming solemn, Aurora understood the situation, Usually, it meant that the higher–ups had something to do with it.
It wasn’t entirely true that shener had no boundaries, many technological restrictions might require beraktloughs on their own
When Aurora reted to the country, Astralt University kept offering her favorable terms to convince her to stay. Even her old lecturer was tasked to be the persuader In the end, the local goverment of the entry she was in even played some tricks, almost preventing her from retumine
Luckily, Aurica was quick–willed and caught a chance to leave. Dilerwise.
Aurora pondered for a bit before replying, “Alright, I’ll follow the plans set by the university”

Besides, the Department of Physics was in the northemateawhile the dumitory was in the southematea, which would take over 20 minites by foot. Plus, the

She turned to glance at him before quickly timing back to the monitor.
Owen didn’t reply to her and slowly walked toward her.
“Do you want some?” Aurora politely asked after noticing
“It’s okay,” he replied as his eyes were fixed on the screen.
Owen was behind her.
The screen was filled with complex calculations and derivation formulas. While they looked Incomprehensible to the layman, Aurora could swiftly utilize them to conduct her analysis.
“You’re using Schrodinger’s Equation? Why didn’t you use derivation?” Owen casually asked..
“You understand this?” Aurora slightly tilted and glanced at Owen.
“Alittle,” Owen replied.
“I’m more used to using the most basic equations for core problems so that the overall idea is clearer,” Aurora explained. “But you aren’t wrong either.”
“You’re drinking tea at night? Can you sleep after that?” Owen looked at the cup of tea by her side. He could vaguely smell the scent of the tea, which instantly
refreshed him.
“It doesn’t affect me that much. I drink it because thinkit tastes nice,” Aurora replied.
Owen furrowed his brows and asked coldly, “Is it truly ineffective on you, or are you just immune to it? I’ve always admired your calmness, Professor Reed. But I truly wonder, why would the exceptional Professor Reed fall in love with that kind of man?
Hearing Owen’s questions, Aurora immediately knew she couldn’t just
